More bad news for Obama

http://www.forbes.com/sites/louiswoodhi ... it-proved/

Executives are judged by results. In terms of the economic results produced during the first 2.5 years of his first term, Obama is the worst president of the past 60 years. Given that Alter himself would likely agree that there have been some bad presidents during the past 60 years, this makes Obama a bad president.
but can Obama pull a Regan?

What would you do to fix the problem of the poor, Stephen?


I totally agree with the California State Senate. This does not fix the problem for every poor person but it will definitely help many people brake the cycle of poverty.

The GOP is making a concerted effort to pressure billionaire investment guru Warren Buffett to release his tax returns to the public.

Republicans say Buffett — the public face of Obama’s proposed “Buffett rule” to increase taxes on the wealthy — needs to reveal his finances if his views on tax rates are going to serve as the basis for Obama administration policy.

“Will Warren Buffett release his tax returns so we can see why he should be the standard for tax policy?” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) questioned in a tweet Thursday

Perhaps you should do some research into what the Gini index is and what it means and some different economic interpretations of it. It might give you a better and fuller perspective on this issue rather than just a few random articles
